Out on a $100,000 bond, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office arrested Clepper on May 31 for the alleged assault of a family member. This arrest violates the conditions of his bond set by 435th District Court Judge Patty Maginnis in Montgomery County.

Clepper was transported from the Harris County Jail to the Montgomery County jail on a warrant for "set aside bond" because of his new arrest. He remains in jail on no bond, jail records state.

According to Texas Department of Public Safety troopers at the scene in late 2017, the crash involved two Chevrolet Silverado trucks - one allegedly driven by Clepper and another by Wayland Melton who had just left Decker Prairie Church.

A Montgomery County Hospital District unit pronounced Melton dead at the scene of the accident.

“Clepper told DPS Trooper Jackson that he was allegedly on his way to his wife’s house in Tomball going 45 to 50 miles per hour and that the other vehicle pulled out in front of him,” court documents state.

According to DPS, the airbag control module from Clepper’s truck determined his alleged speed was closer to 81 miles per hour at the time of the crash whereas the speed limit on that stretch of road is reported as 40 mph.

A witness traveling behind Melton’s truck stated, “he heard a crash and then the vehicle that struck Melton’s vehicle came sliding in front of his vehicle and off the road.”

The witness called 911 after his attempts to help Clepper out of his vehicle were unsuccessful.

Clepper was transported from the scene to Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital where a mandatory blood draw was taken showing a blood alcohol concentration of 0.203.

According to court documents, Clepper was allegedly combative, aggravated and aggressive toward bystanders and MCHD paramedics.

Before these two arrests, Clepper was arrested a couple of times in Harris County for assault of a family member and driving while intoxicated, first, where he served 35 days in 2009.

He was also arrested in Montgomery County in 2010 for two charges of failure to stop and render aid related when he caused an accident, injuring two people, and he fled the scene. He received deferred adjudication for five years which was completed without issue.
